...students were surprised—and reassured—by Werbach’s pro-business tone. “It’s interesting he advocates that the way to move forward is to be agents of change within organizations,” said Jenny Chiu, a second-year MBA student. “That resonates at the business school,” added Peter K. Escher, also a second-year student. “It’s comforting that you can enter the corporate world and maintain your idealism...
...under the old system, which has nine categories spanning A+ to F. Second-year students, whose fate in the transition was most uncertain, will graduate with a transcript with grades under both systems.

These third-year students will receive $5,000 off their current tuition. Kagan said that the Law School was committed to funding the program at least through...
Postscript: I'm witnessing the MBA scene firsthand this year as a second-year MBA fellowship student at the Columbia Business School. Even as my classmates relish their classes and the study-hard, play-hard nature of school, some sound concerned when the subject turns to their job hunt. At the Harvard Business School, a second-year MBA candidate recently posted a blog entry poking fun at the euphemisms business school students use to explain why one internship or another hasn't yielded a full-time offer. What they say is "There wasn't a cultural fit," or "I wouldn...
